National Banned Books Week - Speak!

Catcher in the Rye . . 
. . . . . Harry Potter ...
. . . . . . . .Captain Underpants . . .

Every year, there are hundreds of attempts to remove books from schools and libraries.  My fellow bloggers have been quite busy celebrating this week, speaking out about a subject near and dear to all of us.  I'm not going to try to repeat all that has been said, but I can provide you some links to some very thoughtful and thought-provoking posts:


Jenners at Find Your Next Book Here 
Aarti at  BOOKLUST
Stefanie at So Many Books 

Be sure to speak out in support of free thinking, reading, and writing.

National Banned Books Week - Read!

Reading - it's good for you!

Celebrate YOUR freedom to read during Banned Books Week, September 29th to Oct 6. I'm planning to go through my Library catalog on LT and mark all the books that have been challenged, withdrawn or otherwise burned over the years.  Here's one list (there are several compiled over the years) of the most challenged books. Have you read any?

Many thanks to the Intellectual Freedom Committee of ALA for the promotional material.
